Match fixing twist: Nupur confirms dating Dilshan

Indian starlet Nupur Mehta who was exposed by the UK Sunday Times investigation into match fixing has added a new twist to the ongoing match-fixing allegations.

She now claims she was "seeing Sri Lankan cricketer Tillakaratne Dilshan" around the time of the 2009 T20 World Cup in England. Dilshad was already married at the the time. “I was seeing Dilshan and went to the casino with him but that does not suggest I am involved with match-fixing in cricket. That is my personal life and my relationship cannot be made the basis of such a big allegation.

I am a single, attractive girl and have the liberty to move around in any part of the world and interact with whoever I want to,” said Nupur.
